Let the G.P. be :       a , ar , ar2 , ar3 , ............ ar2n - 1       where 'r' is the common ratio


Given :   S1  =  a + ar2 + ar4 + ........... + ar2n - 2   =  a( (r2 )n  -  1 ) / r2 - 1


               S2  =  ar + ar3 + ar5 + ............. + ar2n - 1   =  ar ( (r2)n  -  1 ) / r2 - 1


Therefore : S2 / S1  =  r
